We've had an exceptionally dry summer, and our lawns are starting to show the signs of stress. Understanding and recognizing lawn drought stress can help you take the necessary steps to keep your grass healthy and green.
What Does Lawn Drought Stress Look Like?
Discoloration: Grass blades may turn from green to a dull bluish-gray or even yellow and brown.
Footprints Remain Visible: If you walk on your lawn, the grass won't spring back up immediately. Persistent footprints are a key sign of drought stress.
Leaf Curling and Wilting: Grass blades may curl or wilt, indicating they are conserving water.
Thinning Grass: Drought-stressed lawns often appear thinner as the grass struggles to grow.
To help your lawn recover, ensure deep watering early in the morning, reduce mowing frequency, and keep mower blades high to retain moisture.
Let's give our lawns the TLC they need during these dry times. If you have any questions or need professional lawn care assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.
Stay cool and enjoy your summer!
